Cannot get clean bill of health from CHKDSK...

[Pete Puma]

Regardless of a clean fresh format and install (full format), the same chkdsk errors appear on my new
box. It's been run over 30 times and it always keeps tellling me to rerun it. I used the /r switch once
(who's got time to keep running that), but always use the /f.
This install I'm not erasing, so I'd like to get to the bottom of this before installing further software.

Strangely, it was "file 0x9" on the previous install when I went 30 rounds with that install. Any way to find
out what specific file that is, or does that refer to a block file on the disk?

Any help is very appreciated.

What vendor/model # drive is it ? Have you tried replacing the
cable from the drive to the controller ? Chkdsk is most effective
run from the Recovery console of the XP CD-ROM using a
Chkdsk C: \P
For that many logical errors I'd suspect the motherboard IDE
Controller is at fault.

Are you using a Kaspersky AV application by any chance?

Using Avast, but I had chkdsk problems immediately after completing both XP installs.

Kaspersky AV is having issues with chdsk. Avast should be ok, so your
problem lies elsewhere; Let's hope sombody will assist you.
